Loved the coverage of the last part. Also watched AT Media and Lyca's coverage. You guys did great work offering up your time for us to watch thanks heaps guys. Watching form Australia in the cold.
Brilliant vlog Caroline thanks for the shout out I have put a link to your channel on my video description good to see again off to bed now after a very tiring day good night 😴
Goodness me Caroline, that was a watch n half, didn't take long to get it down, can't believe the workmen don't have masks on,all that muck and horrid dust, hope you stayed safely away from it too.great vlog thanks,😊
I remember going to the then 'Balmoral Hotel' on Balmoral Road ( later The Argosy ') back in 1971 with my mum, dad and bro. Our window overlooked the pleasure beach and you could see the Grand National (?) going round. Sadly gone now. Blackpool is disappearing.
As a retired Antique Brick dealer here in the United States it's great to see they are recycling the brick from the building . There's hundreds of thousands of brick in the building . Plenty of Fire Walls to prevent fire from spreading if possible . Cool video .
That was epic, Caroline. I came over to Blackpool on Monday but nothing much happened while I was there. I was also disappointed not to see any TH-camrs around. I follow several of you and feel I know you all like people off the telly. My confidence took a tumble when I thought I recognised AT Media and approached an innocent guy who wasn't! Curiously AT Media had been there filming from St Chad's Road while I was filming from the Prom because he filmed the same bits although I didn't see him. My footage isn't worth the megabytes it uses! The camera hadn't focused properly and the wind noise is awful
I was up there Monday afternoon, don't let it put you off saying hi if you see one of us we are a friendly bunch. Cameras can be naughty at times lol I have had the odd issue with focusing in the past x
That's the first double header I've ever watched. The operator was getting his rocks off and some old girl doing vocals sounded like she was loosing a few as well at time's. LMFA. Good on ya darlin'
Very interesting videos and really enjoyed watching 😊 I came here from Jane(?) @ Visiting Fylde Coast... I have suddenly become fascinated by this area of coastline which is quite close to me but never visited, yet I've lived in Cheshire for most of my life! The seafront architecture does look a bit jaded and run-down now but I hope they will replace these old buildings with 'humane' and attractive new structures, not buildings that have an awful corporate lack of soul and character.
They certainly made short work of that!, none of that faffing about picking out everything, just smash it like they used to!, now the big clean up can begin!
No it was demolished cos it was old and unable to be converted it the 5 star hotel that will eventually replace it. Old buildings like this are full of corridors etc so dont make spacious easily accessible modern hotels.
With all the coverage of these two recent demolitions I’m sure future investors will see the opportunities for 21st century accommodation in Blackpool The new establishments that come out of these sites will be amazing for the future ongoing regeneration of the Golden Mile There must be at lest 20 of these sites that need this treatment right now
Just another case of "Take the money and run". Why waste money on renovations when you can knock it down, sell the land and let someone else build another eyesore to replace it. The whole of the country is falling into decay and becoming a holiday home for rats.
What is that figure of a heart shape, rotated about a central vertical axis and attached to the side of the pole at 1.26? Seeing the Blackpool tower at the background, reminds me of the man who went back to the shop and told the salesman that he went ballroom dancing up on the Blackpool tower. The salesman said, " But there is no ballroom up the Blackpool tower!" The man who was returning the previously bought trousers said," The same with these pair of trousers!" That water spray at 14:9 is a joke-------- the hose should be attached to the top of the engineering monster and spraying down one at a rate of one cubic meter per minute. I am an engineer, and I regret to say that engineering has polluted the Earth in less than 100 years since the Chad was built, producing 25% pollution due to aircraft flying, 25% due to shipping goods to our homes, 25% due to Electric power stations and industrial production,.25% due to wars and domestic waste and other pollution including cars and detergents in the kitchen sink, refuse disposal, plastics. Engineers like me should have spent their life designing and making prosthetic aids and diagnostic and life saving equipment for hospitals , and not for construction contractors and military forces. All engineering devices are in fact prosthetic aids for people born with a congenital disorder, as they cannot do what they do with engineering if they stay naked, including the charming lady commentator on this video who is proud to just own a video camera, and cannot stop talking into it! The world is also so polluted with the sound of humans who earn a living talking and never producing anything that is guaranteed, as Politicians, Regions, Newscasters, Lawyers, Techers, Magistrates and Judges and Police and the Miltary, Artists and all the social emotional and sentimental professions including entertainers, and the public love them for just creating emotions and sentiments without ever guarantying anything, not even a service let alone a tangible product. Politicians still get paid if they fail, Religions people still get paid even if their philosophies and promises cannot be guaranteed, Lawyers still get paid if they lose a case, Doctors, surgeons and medical consultants still get paid if they lose the patient dies or has a double amputation without replacement, and so teachers and lecturers at university still get paid if half of the class fails. Engineers do not have such benefits, but they do have the benefit that while they pollute the earth, all the other professions do rely on ENGINEERING. PRODUCTS for their comforts in and out of their homes. Other professions cannot do much and they all need to wrap themselves with some prosthetic aid which involves engineering including shoes, and underwear and fork and knife and all transport vehicles and all the tangible comforts they have in and out of their homes,, Even religions believe in guaranteed engineering products rather than their own prayers, miracles and indulgences.
It's part of Blackpool Illuminations our annual light show along the promenade, in fact the Illuminations have just been switched on for this season and will be lit nightly until 1st January 2024.
@@CarolineJamesVlogs Thank you for the information. You have a good voice. I remember the accent, but I cannot fit it at the moment, probably a local Blackpool one! After 15 years, most of it staying at Newcastle , I spoke Geordie of the mining fraternity at Southmoor/ Northumberland, with a contribution from my mother's tongue! Thank you once again.
Hi, Thank you and yes I was born and raised in the Marton Moss area of Blackpool, I also spent sometime living in West Yorkshire before moving back to Blackpool. My accent is a mixture of both Blackpool and Yorkshire

Excellent Video. Thanks
Great stuff. What we need now is a 8 x speeded up version of all of these demolitions!
Brilliant.
Love watching the video thank you
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Being the operator of the machine knocking down the building must be so satisfying, especially if you have the jump or an angst hehehe
Those rooms could tell a few interesting tale... Oops, too late 😬.
PS Watching from way Down South.
Great video thank you xx
Welcome Roberta xx
Woo thanks for filming that was brilliant to watch. I'm a bit sad as I once had a lovely holiday staying in it. Lots of amazing memories.
Yeah a few mixed emotions about it going, but great to watch this team at work.
Wow, that was brilliant
Wow it came down super quick nice to see it draw attention and other vloggers
It was a great day, seeing everyone and watching it all come down.
Great final demolition coverage 👍📹🎬

Perhaps he was getting a bonus for getting it done quickly!
Hello again Caroline
Can't believe that the St Chad's Hotel has gone
And it didn't take long to demolish it either about a week ago
Thanks Caroline
Hi Simon,
It has not taken them long at all, it has been amazing to watch them do this.
This amazes me how the building breaks away so easy
Yeah I know, although the high reach weighs in at 80 tons
I remember going to the then 'Balmoral Hotel' on Balmoral Road ( later The Argosy ') back in 1971 with my mum, dad and bro.
Our window overlooked the pleasure beach and you could see the Grand National (?) going round.
Sadly gone now.
Blackpool is disappearing.

Thank you, yeah the recycling is fantastic to see .
Thanks Caroline it didn't take as long as i thought to knock it down now the tidying up will begin i hope you are well
Thanks George, yeah I'm good thanks x

I think we need a photo before and after on this one Caroline

🤣😂🙃
operador profissional. parabnes
Great 😃 I get a great day
I'm going to help outotislikewatchingbennyhill how much does it pay and say itstple the show great vedioanyway
I heard that the council have bought Kingswood office supplies, on Cookson St. Is that true?
I remember it being Ardrons.
It could be true with the amount of changes going on up there, but I don't know one way or the other x
483 times, loved it. 🤣
I wonder if the Driver of the plant Machinery can operate the cranes in Coral Island?
Banned from every arcade on the coast 😂
They did good job in 2 bit putting down ros❤
.not wow , this is a normal demolishen !
Yes very normal way here x demolitions are great fun to watch and film, one of the times a lot of Blackpool vloggers get together.

That operator just pushes the lot down, cleaning up later…
Was it demolished because it was unsafe? It seemed to fall apart so easy.
No it was demolished cos it was old and unable to be converted it the 5 star hotel that will eventually replace it. Old buildings like this are full of corridors etc so dont make spacious easily accessible modern hotels.
wtf ???? cant reach very far with a pressure washer. Ever hear of a hose and spray nozzle

Yes with any luck at all seeing new developments will encourage others to invest in our town. Hopefully Blackpool is on the up again ☺
Them water jets are absolutely useless.
To End of blackpool in good time
Fantastic video,I think you better go and have a lie down,with all the woos and wows and at one point telling us you were getting so wet😮lol
haha I love a demolition site lol x
Has anybody taken the time to count the number of times that the word "Wow" is used ?
😂🙃 yeah well we were all enjoying watching it 👌
I preferred the days of the wrecking ball, pre utube!

you did mean wow, didn't you?
Sure did lol 🤣
How many wows can you cram into one video. Gets boring after the 1st one.
Pretty sure I could have squeezed a few more in if I had really tried 😅 I do enjoy a good demolition
Well that’s it, nothing to watch now…😂😂
Could have been a better video without all that talking
Thank you for your comment, I am learning that some types of video carry themselves and don't need so much input from me. Like all things its a learning curve x
I had to mute the video because of the incessant chatter.
you know the old thats 12 inches well its only 35 ton ;) good review
Blackpool has to be the UK's biggest demolition site Caroline 🗼
